Question

What number increased by 1/2 of itself equals 54?

Answer 1

That should be \(n + \frac{n}{2} = 54\)

Answer 2

\[\frac{3}{2}n = 54 \Longrightarrow n = 54*\frac{2}{3} = 36\]

Answer 3

Sorry, I didn't see the "of itself" part

Answer 4

:/

Answer 5

let the number be x
1/2 of itself means 1/2 of x
\[x + (1\div2)x = 54 \]
now LCM
\[(2x + x)/.]\div2 = 54\]
\[3x \div\]
\[3x = 54\times2\]
\[3x=108\]
\[x=108\div3\]
\[x=36\]

Answer 6

Thanks :D

Answer 7

sorry the third step is incomplete it is
\[3x \div2 = 54\]
